Artist Registry
The White Columns Curated Artist Registry is an online platform for emerging and under-recognized artists to share images and information about their respective practices. The Registry seeks to create a context for artists who have yet to benefit from wider critical, curatorial or commercial support. To be eligible, artists cannot be affiliated with a commercial gallery in New York City.

STATEMENT OF WORK
The inferno of a horrific auto accident took the lives of my closest friends the same afternoon my wife and I were dancing in celebration at our brother’s wedding reception. I have lived through a decade of unexpectedly losing numerous family members and dear relatives while experiencing the joy of raising a family of four children. I paint loved ones on life support systems to make sense of our human capacity for hope in the face of incomprehensible tragedy. Watercolor is fragile and often uncontrollable, so I take control by repainting the forms as solidified structures in large acrylic and oil paintings. Reconciling the simultaneous experience of suffering with relational beauty is at the core of my studio practice.
